Lil 59 Tele and Chopper Strat!

[papersoul]

Hi guys, I am loving this set up!

I have the lil 59 and vintage stack in my tele and love them. The lil 59 can be bright but since it is essentially a humbucker, I use 500K pots to keep my Tele bright. I just roll off the tone knob if I want the guitar to sound darker, but I would rather have the highs and bite if needed.

My Strat has the Dimarzio Chopper in the bridge and that seems darker but in this guitar, I only have the bridge volume pot as a 500K, the other pots are stock 250K. In my Tele, both pots are 500K CTS.

I am really impressed with how much the Lil 59 sounds like the perfect marriage of single coil and humbucker.

You should post some sound or youtube clips in the Tips & Clips section! Would love to hear what your stuff sounds like. Even some vids of your band would be good.

So how long is it going to be before the honeymoon wears off, you ask a bunch of questions about other setups, then don't listen to anybody's suggestions?
